Dare we forget that some of us have lives outside of this forum - just saw this. So you wanna go at it? You first.

Szopin man...
chillax.
Blaming the US for whatever ills in the world exist...made deliberately or not...or not created at all by the US ... is looking at the situation linearly.

Conflict on scale of any kind really boils down to one thing.
Resource.

Which enables everything necessary to continue...
food for armies,
material for weaponry,
allowance for new technological development to gain greater advantage over one's neighbours...etc...

Spinoff interaction from that include everything from righteous responses to retaliations to well..the list goes on. Justification is just one of the necessities ..

Machiavelli wrote well on the topic of running a State.
Good Despot , Bad Despot....it doesn't matter...
Whether there is even any bother in doing good spin doctoring or none at all...or the reverse... negative spin...instilling fear.

It has always been this way...since the rise of the city state...before Machiavelli ...before the Romans...before the Greeks...before Alexander...

Sure the US has blood on it's hands...
but there isn't one nation....
not one people..
not one culture..
not one race ...
not one civilization....
on this planet..
that hasn't done some kind of atrocity to another...
ever.

I would look to how nations are acting currently concerning marking their territories in the arctic...
How the mass exodus(? naw there is more than one going on right now...exodi?)... the displacement of people ... that is being done across this planet and the reasons for it.
I believe that soon it will be more than land and exploitable resource being fought over..
as if things aren't bad enough now in so many ways with so much injustice and crime against humanity and nature...
It will get real real grim.
For all of us...
Not just those not fortunate enough up til now to be born in the wealth of the western world either..
For all of us...
It will be over clean potable water and food.
That is enough for people to destroy their own Nations, hell...destroy civilization itself...entirely...tear itself apart...burn it all down...collapsing it all...

If you wish to rail against folly and injustice szopin...
I wouldn't take specific aim...
because every nation, every people...
have their parts to play...
I don't think it fair to just shout blame (just and righteous or not ) only at one people, or culture or nation...
...dole it out properly...roundly...and to sooo many that sooo deserve it...

First I want to hand out 5 infragment points to mod for moving my posts to this thread. But since I'm here I think it time to change the law so Arnold Schwarzenegger can take over as the dude in the White House, also change so he can sit in office longer than 8 years.

And to counter Putin/mededev, Arnold should bring in Mitch Buchanan as vice.

Arnold/Mitch Buchanan,


My pick is...

Andre the Giant


and Macho Man Randy Savage

...
ooooooohhhhhh yyeeeeeyeaaahh!...


ooohhh wwaaiiitt...
they're both part of the choir invisible now ...aren't they?...
doesn't matter...
even as immaterial disembodied ghosts they got more to bring to the table than the current leaders...

Nope, that is:



It's kind of funny, that minority voters in US are for HRC. While Sanders was marching with MLK, she campaigned for resegregation

Obama won the oppression olympics last time, now she will (then again, from experience, sanders will turn into obama once in office, they all do)
